Oyakudon

Oyakudon is one of the easiest and simplest dinner that I cook for my family. It is one of the Japanese donburi dishes or rice bowl dishes that have meat and vegetables simmered together over rice. It is made of chicken and eggs...and that's how the name "Oyaku" was derived (mother & child in Japanese). I used to think that it means a dish prepared by a mother for her child ;)

I happened to come across this oyakudon ready-made seasoning at the supermarket a few months ago. The cooking instructions are in Japanese...somehow, from the pictures printed at the back of the box, I managed to figure out how to made this dish. It turns out to be a very simple and delicious meal. I topped the oyakudon with some furikake rice seasoning that comes in these cute Cinnamoroll packaging. This is great for busy mummies who want to cook a quick and simple meal for the family.

Hi Shannon, thanks for your comments. I am not a good cook at all, and I consider myself a beginner in the area of baking...there are still so much to learn! It must be tough studying abroad, I am sure you miss your mum's homecooked meals.
